Available now★★★★★
Santosh lives in Mumbai with his mother and is taking the train to Kolkata by himself for the holidays. He also has a secret plan: he wants to find the father he barely remembers. On the way he meets people from far outside his sheltered life. This is a gentle, honest story about a boy who wants room for both his parents, and it gives children a kind way to think about families that live apart.
